    You are one of the very few food bloggers I see that still chooses soy milk over almond. Just curious your reasons why (I’m guessing because it contains much more nutrients/protein than almond milk?), and what kind of soy milk you drink. Thanks!

      Hey there! Honestly for me soy is a preference thing. I do use almond milk from time to time as well but I love the thickness of soymilk in my coffee. Both have their individual benefits – soy is a bit higher in calories than almond milk but it also provides more protein, B vitamins, potassium and magnesium. It’s also lower in sodium than almond milk. If you’re buying a fortified soy milk the Vitamin A, D and Calcium profiles should match up well to almond milk but they will fall short if you’re not buying fortified. Soy also has a bit of saturated fat whereas almond milk does not and almond milk provides Vitamin E that soy doesn’t. Ultimately it comes down to what you prefer as both have plenty of good to offer!

      As for the soymilk that I drink, I love Silk, Trader Joe’s and most of my generic store brands in their original flavor – as long as it’s fortified so that I’m getting the calcium, I’m usually pretty happy. Hope that helps 🙂

    Hi there! Your eats always look amazing and your photography is beautiful, but I must ask, is that really all you eat? No snacks or anything? I understand people don’t always need snacks but considering how low cal your diet is? I mean a bowl of cereal for breakfast and a mini enchilada for lunch? Especaially as you are so active and tall and skinny.

    Also where did you get the plate that you used for Fridays lunch?

      Hi there, glad you like the series! I pretty much snack every day, I just don’t always include them in these posts. As for what I have and how many times I snack, it totally depends on how hungry I am and what I feel I need or have missed out on at other meals. Most usually I have two snacks a day – one in between lunch and dinner and one after dinner and while I don’t count calories, I would estimate my snacks are between 200-300 calories each. When I eat cereal (which is almost always a high fiber option) I usually have more than one serving so at 210 calories per serving, it usually does just fine to fill me up when paired with fruit and about a cup of milk. As for the enchilada, the picture may be deceiving but they’re definitely not mini! They’re almost like burritos and once paired with avocado and greek yogurt and a side of grapes, it was a wholly satisfying meal for me. I would estimate my daily calorie intake to be around 2,000-2,200 calories a day so I personally wouldn’t call it low calorie, but I guess it depends on what your definition of “low cal” really is as I’m sure everyone’s is different.

      While I maintain a normal, healthy weight for my height and activity level with the diet that I eat, it certainly doesn’t mean that it’s right for everyone else. I offer these posts up mostly for inspiration and meal ideas, definitely not because I believe people should eat exactly what I eat – we’re all different!

      As for the plate for Friday’s lunch – I recieved mine as a gift but others have told me that they sell it at Uncommon Goods 🙂

      Hope that helps clear some things up! Let me know if you have any other questions 🙂
